u/Everton-1878

Time for a candid discussion on the state of the roads.

Morning chaps, so I have a very nice Jag XKR-S which is immaculate and the suspension being a RS is firm and most of the suspension components are rather pricey indeed and if anything gets damaged you can be sure councils will sign a waiver removing responsibility, ditto to the tyres.

Driving to work this morning I was thinking what's the point - bone crushing roads everywhere, speed bumps at every village - many of which seem illegal itself. I am not kidding each time I go out I am spending more time looking out at the state of the roads than doing anything, no music nothing. It's not a pleasuring relaxing drive anymore is it. What do others do in this situation. Let's face it the roads aren't getting better and the Globalists want people using push bikes. A Ford Wild track is what you need nowadays.

People might remember my last purchase, a SBGH022 - at 5 figures it's the most expensive watch I have ever purchased and I have no intention of buying anymore - a few weeks before I purchased that GS I purchased a 6146-8000 - it's a bit crazy how things worked out because the SBGH is related to the earlier watch somewhat, it's just missing the 'special' designator - the third digit on the reference is calling out the accuracy - 4 is a regular hi beat in this instance, not to be scoffed at itself - 5 is a 'special' and if you are feeling particularly affluent you can go the whole hog and get a VFA which will have an 8 and if people don't know how much VFAs sell for grab yourself a strong whiskey.

The reason I purchased this particular 6146 was because it's condition was dead stock, upon receiving it it looks used but very seldom and is indeed in terrific condition - the Paulownia box is worth a sizable sum itself as the one's with the hi beat reference are particularly scarce. The GS buckle is more money, a lot of money for a buckle.

So that's it, these old watches are absolutely amazing - the original strap I am leaving alone and the replacement is in the picture - it's a bit whoa but It's different - croc leather and getting made in Vietnam I gave them the exact measurements of the original band.

Unlike the SBGH022 which is too much for wearing each day, I can see this as something I would use frequently.

Let's talk about the roads...
